Reinforced soil walls and slope stability systems TERRALINK®

Reinforced soil walls (also called mechanically stabilised earth walls) are becoming increasingly popular as an economical and effective solution of earth retention.

With a Global Synthetics Reinforced Soil System, each component is carefully selected and engineered to work together to provide a structurally sound long term solution.

Concept design and construction supportContact Global Synthetics for an appraisal of your site. We can provide detailed project concepts including reinforcement analysis and layout, CAD drawings and construction methodologies to assist you with achieving the best result.

GLOBAL SYNTHETICS PROJECT SUPPORT OPTIONS

Soil System - Slopes This TERRALINK® System is for slopes up to 45º, utilising primary structural geogrids for internal stability of the slope. It also incorporates a permanent Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) laid over the slope surface to prevent erosion and promote vegetative growth. No rigid facing or TERRALINK® steel facing panels are required for this option.

Our technical support service is available in the initial stages of your project to discuss the options and recommend the best reinforced soil solution for your site.

�� Our experienced team may also suggest other repair solutions which are applicable besides reinforced soil solutions to allow you to compare options. Technical support includes typical solutions, case studies, data sheets etc.

�� Once you have identified a possible solution for the site, our Project Proposal service is the next step. We will provide a comprehensive submission of the wall layout, reinforcement type and spacing and submit a proposal for your perusal. This is invaluable for costing and client submissions. The project concept submission may include CAD drawings, data sheets, internal stability analysis, and global stability analysis as appropriate.

�� Once you have concluded that our project concept is the best option for the site, our third party certified design option may be utilised to provide project sign off. We recommend independent third party designers to provide certified designs.

Reinforced Soil System - Walls The TERRALINK® System is a proven engineered reinforced soil system with a steel mesh facing for walls up to near vertical inclination.

The facing can either be vegetated or filled with stone for a gabion type appearance.

Reinforced Soil System - Steepened Slopes The TERRALINK® System is a proven engineered solution for slopes up to 70° which require a vegetated facing.

Consisting of an ACEGrid® geogrid wrapped face with biodegradable bags forming the face angle, TERRALINK® is cost effective and fast to build.
